(Nanowerk News) Since its launch in 1977, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft has traveled over 15 billion miles into deep space. That’s a long way — but it’s not even 1% of the distance to Alpha Centauri, ...

In a potential step toward sending small spacecraft to the stars, researchers have developed an ultra-thin, ultra-reflective membrane designed to ride a column of laser light to incredible speeds.

"Neptune was the missing piece of the puzzle when it came to detecting auroras on the giant planets," said the European Space Agency.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Since its launch in 1977, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft has traveled over 15 billion miles into deep space. That’s a long way — but it’s not even 1% ...

The space agency said on Wednesday (March 26) that astronomers had previously seen tantalizing hints of auroral activity on Neptune, for example, in the flyby of NASA’s Voyager 2 in 1989.

"It was so stunning to not just see the auroras, but the detail and clarity of the signature really shocked me." ...
